PITTSBURGH -- Watching game film from last season was painful for Bud Dupree, who saw too many sacks left on the field.
"I just left double-digit sacks on the field," said Dupree, a third-year pass-rusher who finished with a career-high six in 2017. "I still can get double-digit sacks even though I’m in coverage a lot. I just have to capitalize on my opportunities. I’ve just got to close the deal."
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had a 10-sack outside linebacker since James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley in 2010. Becoming the next would make Dupree an attractive candidate for a contract extension next summer while boosting a promising but erratic career.
